Eliezer and his family chose not to leave the ghetto despite the opportunity for safe shelter due to a combination of disbelief in the severity of their situation and a strong sense of attachment to their home and community. They may have hoped that the situation would improve or underestimated the dangers they faced. Additionally, the uncertainty of the unknown and fear of the consequences of leaving might have paralyzed their decision-making. Ultimately, their choice reflects a tragic underestimation of the impending threat.
In "Night," Eliezer gives a message to Stein of Antwerp, who is searching for news of his family. Eliezer lies to him, telling Stein that his family is well and that they are safe, despite knowing that this may not be true. This act illustrates Eliezer's struggle to maintain hope and humanity in the face of despair, as well as the painful necessity of lying to protect others from suffering. It highlights the complex dynamics of survival and compassion in the concentration camps.

Eliezer lies to him about the welfare of his family and because of this Stein gives him extra rations as a thank you for the information. Then a transfer comes in from Antwerp and when Stein goes to see them, he asks about his family and learns the truth. Because Eliezer lied to him, he never visited him again.
In "Night," Eliezer Wiesel initially thinks he and his family are being sent to a safer place, possibly a relocation for work. As they are transported in the cattle cars and treated with increasing cruelty, he realizes that they are actually being taken to a concentration camp, where the reality of their situation becomes increasingly dire and terrifying. His hope quickly turns to despair as he confronts the horrific conditions they face.
In Elie Wiesel's memoir "Night," the knife and spoon symbolize the last remnants of his humanity and identity. When his father is about to be deported, Eliezer is forced to part with these personal belongings, which represent not only his survival but also his connection to family and the life he once knew. The act of receiving the knife and spoon as a bequest from his father underscores the harsh reality of their situation—where survival often comes at the cost of personal values and relationships. Ultimately, these items reflect the broader themes of loss and the struggle to maintain one's identity amid dehumanization.
